<p>Oops, I believe I have found out that the Capt. Joseph is not my ancestor, there was another Joseph Douglass in the area which is mine according to the will he left mentioning my George Logan Douglas, so I am kind of back to square one with what more I can find out about this Joseph Douglass (and his wife). Thank you, I am still going to keep searching.</p>

<p>I am pretty confident now that Capt. Joesph Douglass is my ancestor. We have his birth date as 1773 and he died in 1845. My ancestor George Logan Douglas was born 1801 in North Carolina according to his tax documents and he died 12 March, 1855 in Sumter Co., GA Since Joesph Douglass was born in Salisbury, Mecklenburg County, NC.

<p>I am pretty confident now that Capt. Joesph Douglass is my ancestor. We have his birth date as 1773 and he died in 1845. My ancestor George Logan Douglas was born 1801 in North Carolina according to his tax documents and he died 12 March, 1855 in Sumter Co., GA Since Joesph Douglass was born in Salisbury, Mecklenburg County, NC. We think there is a match. My cousin, Pam, who is a very good facts checker found a Family Tree DNA Douglas DNA study (R-M512) which matches Joesph Douglass. I am not sure if their tree includes more recent descendants to compare, or if it is confidential information, but I will be checking on that next. They also had a Robert McCleary General as the father of Joe's wife listed in their tree, so I will be checking on that too...does his name ring any bells? I am guessing he was a part of the Am. Revol. based on his age, I might be wrong on that though. Thank you, I will keep digging. These bits of information are things I had not yet found, and I do try to pass these on to my Douglas cousins.</p> Joseph (2 above) was known as…tag:www.genealogywise.com,2015-06-28:3463583:Comment:7046502015-06-28T20:08:26.892ZWilliam Douglashttp://www.genealogywise.com/profile/WilliamDouglas
